"Can I?" or "May I?"

Because of my confusion, I looked up the proper usage of”may” and "can". Both have different meanings. "Can" refers to ability when used as a verb while "may” has to do with permission and possibility. Now, when someone asks if he can talk to you and you don’t want to you can say he can but he may not.

you forgot to put a comma there.
